Carte Magic Thorncaster Sliver

Thorncaster Sliver is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

Sliver creatures you control have "Whenever this creature attacks, it deals 1 damage to any target."

How it works : Thorncaster Sliver

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If you control multiple Thorncaster Slivers and a Sliver you control attacks, each ability will trigger separately.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If you change the creature type of a Sliver you control so it’s no longer a Sliver, it will no longer be affected by its own ability. Its ability will continue to affect other Sliver creatures you control.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Abilities that Slivers grant, as well as power/toughness boosts, are cumulative. However, for some abilities, like flying, having more than one instance of the ability doesn’t provide any additional benefit.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
